UFO have announced they will play their final show on October 29, 2022 in Athens, Greece. The performance will mark the end of a live career spanning more than 50 years.
The influential British group have announced a long run of 27 shows across Europe, including two small-capacity shows in Hannover, Germany – an 80-cap indoor public rehearsal and a 300-cap outdoor performance.
Mogg told fans: “After so many years with countless highlights, fantastic experiences and lots of beautiful memories – as well as some difficult moments, naturally – it’ll be a worthy finale to say goodbye to your fans in person. I know that there are bound to be some very emotional moments on both sides."
Mogg had previously initially announced his intention to retire back in 2018, saying he thought the 2019's 50th Anniversary Last Orders shows would be his last. However, the band continued performing until the pandemic put a pause on live events.
As such, Mogg and drummer Andy Parker are now the only surviving members of the band’s original line-up, while Neil Carter and Vinnie Moore handle guitar duties.
